Etymology of STREIGHT

The word streight or straight traces its etymology back to Old English. In Old English, the word was streht or streght, which meant direct, righteous, not crooked. This word was derived from the Proto-Germanic word straightaz, meaning straight, stiff. From Proto-Germanic, the word further evolved into stræt in Middle English, where it also gained the meaning of narrow street or path. Over time, the spelling changed to streight before settling on its current form, straight.
